l inlg device especially adapted for use as a car o' er The object of the invention is to rovide an oiler having a' pump constructe to devliver the required amount of oil and no more to the desiredplace.

Another obJect of the invention is to provide a device of this charactenrrhich is simple in construction and efficient in doperation and the parts of which may be'rea y taken apart for cleaning-and other purposes.

` With these and other objects inview, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts, as will be more fully described apd particularly pointed out in the appended In the accompan g drawings, Figuie `1 represents a vertic s'ection of an oiler conaccordance with invention;

structed 1n Fig. 2 is a detail vertical section on the line 2 -2 of Fig. 1.

In the embodiment illustrated an oil containing receptacle 1, is shown of an' desired shape and size and which is prefera ly composed of sheet metal. Thisvessel 1 is provided with a bottom 2, preferably made as shown with a flange 3, depending from its lower face around its outer e ge and secured to the sides of the vessel 1 any fsuitable manner, it being designed. to s ace the bottom a suitable distance jrom t e lower edge of the re-V ceptacle. Y e A pump is mounted the receptacle YYl, preferably comprises a supportlng base 4, secured to ,thebotto'm 2,`by

n olts, as 5, erin any other suitable manner. This base member 4, is provided with an oill chamber 6, havin an inlet 7 rovided with a strainer 8, w ereby the o passing there- ,through to' the pump is strainedlto prevent dirt or anyl Aother object from4 entering through the inlet and clogging the pump..

lnormally close said inlet.

war y opemng s thedevice is not in use.

A valve 9 is arranged in said inlet 7, and is preferably made in the form of a ball disposed within the chamber 6, and adaptedto A screw cap 10, is arranged above the valve 9, to permit ac cess thereto for cleaning or other pur es, and it is also designed to prevent sai ball from becoming displaced. The oil chamber l 6, is also provided preferably at a point posite the inlet 7 with an outlet 11 normal y,v

closed by an outwardly opening valve 12 which is also preferably made in the form of Ya ball with a cap 13 screwed into an opening arran ed thereover similar to the cap 10 of the et valve. A pipe 14 is connected with the outlet 11 in any suitable manner and extends upwardly through the top of said rece tacle 1 and its outer end is connected with a ose 15 which may befof any suitable size or length and is desi ed to convey the oil to any point to-which 1t is desired to apply it, thereby avoiding the necessity of moving the rece tacle 1 from place to place. An outring pressed valve 16 is arranged to close t e outerendof the hole 15V to prevent oil fromdripping therefrom when A pump cylinder 17 com osed of brass or any other suitable materia is connected at its lower end with the base 4 above the oil chamber 6, and a piston 18 of any suitable material preferably composed of hard wood is' mounted to slide within said cylinder. A piston rod A19 is connected at one endwith said piston 18 and extends upwardly through a sleeve 21 connected with the top 22 of t e receptacle 1. This iston rod 19 1s provided at its outerend wit a handle 20 for operating the piston or plunger and for lifting the vessel 1 when it 1s desired to move it from place to place. At its inner end it has an enarged portion 19 in which is an annular groove 19h. A suitable .packing 23 is arranged in'said sleeve aroundv the piston rod 19 to form an oil-tight connection therewith. A collar 24 is adjustablpr mounted on the piston rod 19'by means'o a set screw 25 and -1s adapted to be fastenedv at any desired lpoi'nt onsaid rod 19 for regulating the stroke of the iston and the amount of oil to be delivere YA spring 26 is slidably vmounted on the'underneath slde of the top 22 by bolts 28' which extend through a slot 27 formed in the cover 22 and the free end of the sprin is arrangedto engage the pistn groove 19 when the spring is pushed inward to hold the pump piston in ifted position when the oiler 1s not 1n use.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction and operation of the invention will be readily understood Without requiring a more extended ex lanation.

Varlous changes in the erm, proportion and the minor details of constructlon may be resorted to Without departing from the principle orsacriflcing an of the advantages of the invention, as de ned in the appended claim.

I claim as my invention: u

In a device of the class described the combination with a containing vessel, a removable top therefor, a pump cylinder mounted in the vessel and having valved inlet and outlet ports, a piston operating in said cylinder, a piston rod connected to said piston and ving an annular groove adjacent thereto, a collar adjustably surrounding said rod to determine the amount of fluid 1n`ected yby said pump, and a slidably mounte spring catch carried on the inside of said top and adapted to engage the groove to hold the piston in elevate position.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing Wit- 30 DGSSBS.
